Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day:This Armed Forces Day, May 15, 2010, we honor and thank the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coast guard who courageously to ensure the freedom and liberties of our Constitutional Republic.

Today, not the men and women in uniform only ensure our freedom and liberty, but as they have always done, seek to promote freedom in lands far away from home. It was a privilege to serve 22 years in service of my country in the Army, following the legacy of my dad and brother.

The Armed Forces of the United States holds the highest tradition of integrity and character. Let’s keep those who wear the uniform of our nation and their families in our thoughts and prayers always. May they return home safely and in victory.
